I have done this once before on the box itself and didn't have any problems. This time I got the following error and I'm really worried:

Code:

***************************************************************************
ERROR: the required HTML::Parser (version 3.24) module is not installed.
Version 3.31 or later is recommended.
HTML is used for an ever-increasing amount of email so this dependency
is unavoidable. Run "perldoc -q html" for additional information.
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional DB_File module is not installed.
Used to store data on-disk, for the Bayes-style logic and
auto-whitelist. *Much* more efficient than the other standard Perl
database packages. Strongly recommended.
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional Net::DNS (version 0.34) module is not installed.
Used for all DNS-based tests (SBL, XBL, SpamCop, DSBL, etc.),
perform MX checks, and is also used when manually reporting spam to
SpamCop. Recommended.
If this is installed and you are using network tests of any variety
(which is the default), then you need to make sure the Net::DNS
version is sufficiently up-to-date:
- version 0.34 or higher on Unix systems
- version 0.46 or higher on Windows systems
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional Mail::SPF::Query module is not installed.
Used to check DNS Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records to fight email
address forgery and make it easier to identify spams.
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional IP::Country module is not installed.
Used by the RelayCountry plugin (not enabled by default) to determine
the domain country codes of each relay in the path of an email.
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional Razor2 (version 2.61) module is not installed.
Used to check message signatures against Vipul's Razor collaborative
filtering network. Razor has a large number of dependencies on CPAN
modules. Feel free to skip installing it, if this makes you nervous;
SpamAssassin will still work well without it.
More info on installing and using Razor can be found
at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/InstallingRazor .
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional Net::Ident module is not installed.
If you plan to use the --auth-ident option to spamd, you will need
to install this module.
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional IO::Socket::INET6 module is not installed.
This is required if the first nameserver listed in your IP
configuration or /etc/resolv.conf file is available only via
an IPv6 address.
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional IO::Socket::SSL module is not installed.
If you wish to use SSL encryption to communicate between spamc and
spamd (the --ssl option to spamd), you need to install this
module. (You will need the OpenSSL libraries and use the
ENABLE_SSL="yes" argument to Makefile.PL to build and run an SSL
compatibile spamc.)
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional Archive::Tar module is not installed.
The "sa-update" script requires this module to access tar update
archive files.
***************************************************************************
NOTE: the optional IO::Zlib module is not installed.
The "sa-update" script requires this module to access compressed
update archive files.

optional module missing: DB_File

ERROR: The PHP binary coming with ISPConfig does not work properly on your system! The installation routine stops here!

Please restore the backup from /tmp, then run the following steps to update your perl installation and then unpack and run the ispconfig installer again.

Install some Perl Modules needed by SpamAssassin (comes with ISPConfig)

Installation using the Perl Shell

Login to your command line as root and run the following command to start the Perl shell:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

If you run the Perl shell for the first time you will be asked some questions. In most cases the default answers are ok.

Please note: If you run a firewall on your system you might have to turn it off while working on the Perl shell in order for the Perl shell to be able to fetch the needed modules without a big delay. You can switch it on afterwards.

The big advantage of the Perl shell compared to the two other methods described here is that it cares about dependencies when installing new modules. I.e., if it turns out that a prerequisite Perl module is missing when you install another module the Perl shell asks you if it should install the prerequisite module for you. You should answer that question with "Yes".

Run the following commands to install the modules needed by SpamAssassin:

Are you sure this is the old database though? Based on the date, it looks like it was created during the second update attempt. Are you sure it contains all the old users? Or did I replace the old one with a new one when I tried updating ISPConfig?

mysql> mysql> USE ispconfigdb;

mysql> mysql> SELECT * FROM isp_isp_web WHERE 1;

Nice. It looks like my sites are there (There are more, but it was too many characters -- in case you wondered why I was doing all this to salvage a few sites.). So now, I rename the database, install the PERL modules, re-install ISPConfig (The new version or the original version before I tried to update it?), then replace the database with the renamed database?
